“Young Master Han,” greeted a man that was dressed like a butler. That person had just walked out of the auction hall, and a warm smile had spread across his face when he saw Han Yu. He turned to the others and asked, “Who are these people?”

Han Yu answered calmly, “They’re my friends.”

“Oh, so you’re all Young Master Han’s friends! Please come right in,” The butler enthusiastically led them inside. On the way there, he could not help turning to catch a few peeks at Yun Biluo, who had a veil covering the lower half of her face. Wow, such a rare beauty! I wonder what family is she from... Probably a very prestigious one since Young Master Han brought her here.

When they entered the auction venue, they exchanged furtive glances with each other, meaningful in a way that could only be deciphered by those among their group. Then, they dispersed to their respective positions.

However, Helian Wei Wei did not remain in her servant garb. In the blink of an eye, she had changed into a classy white outfit, topped off with a green overcoat. To complement her current ensemble as an affluent young lord, she had also procured a handheld folding fan and attached a jade pendant to her waist.

She looked just like a young lord from a wealthy family, coming for the auction. Of course, ‘he’ seemed to have a peculiar habit of not bringing any servants along with him. The ‘young lord’ roamed casually around the venue, eventually making his way to the second floor.

There were several blade-wielding warriors pacing along the second-floor corridor. The bloodlust that they emitted was suffocating, instantly giving off a vibe that this place should not be barged into recklessly.

A warrior who was standing guard on the corridor barred her entry with an arm. “Excuse me, sir. I’d like to see your pass,” he requested monotonously.

Pass?

Helian Wei Wei’s eyes flashed as she tried to come up with a response. Her mind clicked when she saw the plump businessman that had made his way up the staircase beside her. Her body lurched forward abruptly as one of her hands came up to support her forehead, making it seem like she was inebriated. Her other hand casually tossed a wooden plaque at the warrior, which had been acquired from the unfortunate businessman without his knowledge.

Her arrogant yet careless attitude gave the warrior the assumption that this young lord’s identity must be rather extraordinary. He immediately stepped aside and allowed passage without further inspection.

As for the plump businessman, he was still canoodling with his newly-wedded lover, completely unaware that his pass had been stolen. He pinched the lady’s chin gently and crooned, “In a moment, you’ll see all kinds of exotic specialties that General Murong has brought here today.”

“What kind of specialties?” Of course, the woman knew how to please her husband. She leaned on him adoringly, soft as silk.

The rich businessman smiled enigmatically and replied, “General Murong got them from the Forest of Fantasy. You’d become even more stunning after you drink whatever that stuff is.”

“Really? Then let’s hurry up!” The lady’s eyes gleamed with interest.

The rich businessman snaked an arm around her waist and was about to stride casually to the designated room when he was stopped by the warrior who was standing guard. The plump man was dismissive of the inspection, he smoothed his palm along his waist for his pass. However, his expression changed abruptly, then he removed his arm from the woman’s waist to check every part of his clothes that could contain the small wooden plaque. He cried out, “Where’s my pass? Why is my pass missing?”

The warrior swept his eyes coldly over the man and snapped his fingers, instructing his guards to cart them out of the building.

It was obvious what their fates would be.

This reminded Helian Wei Wei of a drug tycoon that she had dealt with back in her time. That drug tycoon had a short fuse, but he was also cunning and paranoid.

Whoever acted out of the norm in front of him would immediately be assumed to be a spy and silenced mercilessly.

Seeing what the warrior did just now, it seemed like Murong Hongtu belonged to the same type of person as the tycoon was.

Nevertheless, she did learn something useful from the exchange.

Helian Wei Wei paused, her eyes darkening.

Exotic materials from the Forest of Fantasy that could make a person look younger?

“It must be the blood of mythological beasts,” Whitey’s tone was chilly. “This Murong Hongtu is most likely the one who massacred the mythological beasts back then in the Forest. Girl, if the culprit is truly that guy, then you have to be really careful. The tactics he used were both malicious and inhumane. I’m worried that you might not be able to handle this.”

Helian Wei Wei fanned herself with her paper fan, looking like a true gentleman right now. Her face remained carefree as she conversed with Whitey via their mental link, “Don’t worry, going undercover is one of the things that I’m very adept at doing.” action

What Helian Wei Wei said was the truth. Other than firearms and weapons, her next best ability was her skill in espionage and subterfuge.

As she walked into the room, her lips curved naturally into a devious smirk.

The atmosphere of the room was just like what she imagined.

Clearly, Murong Hongtu was not here for the auction. His true intention was to gather these people in a secluded place without arousing the authorities’ suspicion.

It was a small gathering with about six or seven other people apart from Murong Hongtu himself. Both males and females were present, sitting on the sandalwood chairs arranged in the room. They were chatting with each other enthusiastically, their excitement evident on their face.

This gave Helian Wei Wei the feeling that she had just joined an evil cult.

Despite that, she replaced her expression with a lackadaisical smile as she looked around. “Oh, I wonder when will things get interesting? I can’t wait to start.”

The people in the room were originally hesitant when they noticed the unfamiliar young lord who had just stepped inside. After listening to what ‘he’ said, their eyes brightened and all of them turned around to look at Murong Hongtu.

Murong Hongtu was still staring at Helian Wei Wei. He was around 40 years old, and had abnormally pale skin. His eyes were especially frigid, which made people feel uncomfortable when they met his eyes.

Despite being under the intense scrutiny of such a chilling gaze, Heilian Wei Wei swayed her way callously to a chair and sat down. She then pulled out a mirror and admired her own reflection from several angles. “Ah, to think that I’d be even younger soon.”

Murong Hongtu suddenly burst into laughter. With a smirk, he assured, “Don’t worry, you will definitely become younger. In fact, not only would you regain your youth, all of us here would achieve immortality and outlive everyone else in this world. However, before that, you guys have to do a little something...” he paused and gave the servant beside him a signal.

The servant picked up a tray and presented it one by one to the audience.

Helian Wei Wei had no idea what it meant at first.

When she saw the first person, a silvery-haired old geezer, putting cash on to the tray, only did she realize that they were collecting money.

When the tray reached Helian Wei Wei, she slapped a stack of bills onto it without hesitation. There were about ten of them, and every bill was worth a million silver.

It was natural that this action would draw Murong Hongtu’s attention, who threw a few more glances in her direction.

Helian Wei Wei acted as if she did not notice his stares and mimicked the others’ facial expressions, putting on a facade of overwhelming greed and eagerness.

At this moment, Yun Biluo had finally finished her preparations and was walking gracefully toward their target’s location. On the way there, she tuned into the conversation between her accomplices when she heard them mention Helian Wei Wei’s name.

“Alright, we are the pillars of success for this mission! I’d like to see how she can hog all of the achievements for it this time. Anyway, how did you come up with this idea? It’s awesome!”

“Well, I didn’t really come up with it myself. Someone slipped me a note with this plan written on it, and I decided to go with it since it sounded legitimate.”

When the sound of their conversation faded from her ears, a faint smile appeared on Yun Biluo’s face. Of course it was an insincere and cunning smile, but no one would know that.

She did not do anything untoward, the only thing she did was propose a course of action. After all, there must be someone in the team to take the initiative.

Heh, you only have yourself to blame for having such an ugly appearance. Even though we’re both women, the only thing you can do is be a whistleblower instead of being the main driving force of the mission like I am. How pathetic and worthless...
